Parish Religious Education
CCD - Confraternity of Christian Doctrine |
CCD
provides religious instruction for children from pre K - 4 through
Confirmation. All CCD classes are held on Sundays at 9:30 am to give
families the opportunity to attend either the 8:30 or 11:00 am Mass together.
Additional classes are scheduled for older children who have not been
baptized or have not made their First Communion.
We have a monthly Children's Mass during the CCD season
and a one week
Vacation Bible School each summer. Children of all
denominations are welcome. There is always a need for CCD teachers,
music ministers, substitute teachers and aides. All volunteers must
complete the Virtus Protecting God's Children program

For a number of
years. our Education Fund has helped young people attend Catholic schools
and college when they could not otherwise afford it. Sale of these
certificates have been the major source of revenue for this fund.
Unfortunately, our sales have declined, limiting our ability to adequately
provide for our young people. One reason for this decline is a
misunderstanding about what Educational Fund
Certificates are.
These
gift certificates are redeemable at certain major merchants and restaurants in our area.
The gift certificates are treated as cash wherever you use them.
You pay the same price for whatever you buy. The unique
feature of these gift certificates is that a small percentage
(usually 3-5%) of every dollar spent is returned to St. Peter’s for
our Education Fund.
We have
Educational Fund Certificates available for
Winn-Dixie, Barracuda Grill
(which is now open 7 days a week in Marathon) , Square Grouper restaurant,
Big Pine Coffee Shop and a few others. Don’t forget to
tell your server at the Big Pine Coffee Shop that you are from St. Peter
church! It will be noted on your ticket, and at the end of each
month, Sam & John will total the noted sales and donate a percentage of
that total to the St. Peter Education Fund - no paper—fuss! This
month $88 was added to our Education Fund by the Coffee Shop
Please help our young people by making an effort to
use our Education Fund Gift Certificates.
SUPPORT CATHOLIC
EDUCATION - Gift Certificates For Education are on sale in the Parish Office and at
the front of the Church after all weekend masses. Use these as you would
your money and support our education.
Ask the "Gift Certificates for
Education" sellers for information on other kinds of
gift certificates that can be ordered. We urge you to patronize these stores --
5% or more of all sales are added to the Education Fund. |

Mary Immaculate is proud of the fact that it has consistently scored in

top 10% of all schools taking the equivalent of the FCAT—the ITBS, which
is what the Archdiocese used for standardized testing. |
